A Tasco mechanical slide adder with a tracing paper embossing stylus next to it that can be used as a stylus for the device. The device is set to show '96' in the results window.
It seems you can use clay sculpting tools or tracing paper embossing stylus as a mechanical slide adder stylus.
👍 this is a win

In a time before #calculators were commonplace, my father used this #ADDIATOR. My earliest memories of Dad were watching him use this odd sort of #abacus to figure out income #taxes. (The pencil scribblings on the instructions were my contribution.)
Pair of Addiators
Bog standard Addiators are actually some of the easiest to use. Smooth action and no need to flip them to do subtractions. Also cheap and plentiful! #addiator #addingmachine

Behold the Astro Addiator! Lets you add degrees, minutes, and seconds. Designed for astronomy work, but I’ve used it at work to add up video lengths.

This is a really nice Addiator. Very smooth action, especially on the carries. It’s currently residing on my desk for quick additions.

When you need to both add and multiply on the go, Addiator / slide rule combos fit the bill!

A couple more Addiators. Both are rudimentary. You can subtract if you know what you're doing, but the machines don't really help with it. #addiator #addingmachine
TASCO Addiator. Combines the addition and subtraction slides, but uses a sliding gate to constrain your actions to the appropriate operation. Looks better than it actually works. Still, it's a neat idea and the whole thing is shiny metal. #addiator #addingmachine
Nice Tower 9 Addiator. If you were going to carry one with you for basic math, this would be a good choice. #addiator #addingmachine
